摘要

In its much anticipated en banc decision in Lexmark International v. Impression Products, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reaffirmed its prior rulings that (1) overseas sales of a product do not exhaust a patent owner's patent rights within the United States, and (2) the sale of a patented article, when made under a restriction that is otherwise lawful and within the scope of the patent grant, does not give rise to patent exhaustion.1 On the first issue, the Federal Circuit rejected arguments that, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision concerning exhaustion in the copyright context in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley, it should overrule its earlier decision in Jazz Photo Corp. v. International Trade Commission, which held that the sale of a patented item outside the United States never gives rise to patent exhaustion under U.S. law. Similarly, on the second issue, the Federal Circuit rejected arguments that the Supreme Court's decision in Quanta Computer v. LG Electronics should lead it to overrule its prior decision in Mallinckrodt v. Medipart to uphold post-sale restrictions on patented products.
